Description

This savory garlic butter beef recipe features tender beef strips coated in a rich garlic butter sauce, tossed with linguine. It’s a quick and easy weeknight meal that tastes like restaurant-quality comfort food.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz linguine
  • Salt for pasta water
  • 1.5 lbs sirloin steak or flank steak, sliced thin against the grain
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt
  • Freshly cracked black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 6 tbsp butter
  • 8 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine or beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves or 1/2 tsp dried
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Lemon wedges for serving
  • Extra parmesan for serving

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook linguine according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining. Set aside.
  2. Pat the beef slices dry with paper towels. Season both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef in a single layer (work in batches if needed) and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove beef and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add butter and let it melt. Add minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the wine (or broth) and Worcestershire sauce. Let it bubble for about 1 minute. Add thyme and red pepper flakes.
  6. Add the cooked linguine to the skillet and toss to coat with the garlic butter sauce.
  7. Add the beef back to the pan along with any accumulated juices. Pour in the heavy cream and toss everything together.
  8. Add parmesan cheese and continue tossing until the sauce is silky. Add reserved pasta water a little at a time if needed.
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning. Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
  10. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and extra parmesan.

Notes

  • Slice beef against the grain for maximum tenderness.
  • Do not overcook the beef.
  • Use fresh garlic for best flavor.
  • Ensure your pan is hot before adding the beef for a good sear.
  • Beef can be sliced and seasoned up to 24 hours ahead.
  • Garlic butter sauce can be made ahead and gently reheated.
  • Leftovers keep for 2-3 days and can be reheated gently with a splash of cream or pasta water.
